Generally, trips are announced in the fall of each year with the application and selection process taking place in December/January. The trips themselves are usually scheduled during the summer months. Be sure to check the National Website for upcoming travel opportunities!

IndependentTravel

You
can plan an independent trip to a World Centre or another country with
your unit or for a group of girls from your District, Area or Province. For more information on planning an independent trip consult
the International section of Safe Guide and contact your Area
International Adviser. It takes approximately two full years to plan an
independent trip. As you move forward in developing your plans you will
need to continue to be in close contact with the International Assessor
and International Adviser for approval of your plans.

Trips
must be planned using Safe Guide and should contain a Guiding
component. GGC will not approve any trip experience of which the
itinerary is for the most part entertainment and/or vacation based. This
includes, but is not limited to, cruises, all-inclusive resorts or
vacation destinations, or any other generally perceived “vacation”
travel.

Fundraising
for independent travel cannot begin until the trip has been approved
and fundraising has been authorized. Fundraising to support trip
activities (including travel) must be planned in accordance with the
governance policy 01-19-01 and accompanying Procedures and Guidelines
(found on Member Zone). Fundraising can only take place if 75% of the
participants are youth members at the start of planning. Fundraising is
not permitted for adult-only trips.
